This document is an argumentative essay that compares homeschooling and public schooling. It discusses some of the pros and cons of each option. For homeschooling, it notes the benefits of one-on-one learning and parent-child bonding, but also acknowledges that parents may not have teaching skills or a standardized curriculum. Public schools provide structure and expose kids to different subjects, but have large class sizes that limit individual attention. The essay explores the author's dilemma of deciding between these two education paths for her daughter as she reaches school age.
